Been working on one of the floats all day, and have it finished, except for the nose-block and tail-block. Have the second float pinned down as we speak.
Got a great idea for the pylons.... going to make them from 1/2" balsa (two 1/4" thick pieces with the grain going 90 degrees to each other, like plywood, glued together). Tongue at the top and bottom to fit into grooves in the float and wing, rounded on the leading edge and tapered on the trailing. Actually dreamed about this the other night !
In the 3rd pic down, if you look just a little below dead center, you can see the groove for the pylon to fit into.
Coming along smartly.....
